“Descent authentic Chinese restaurant”

After two weeks of American food at a trip in New England I was in a mood for something different:
- I travelled a lot in China, so I can say that the food there was typical Chinese no American style Chinese. All people eating there were Chinese or had Chinese friends with
- Food was nothing...read more

I began going to the New Shanghai in Boston before it was the New Shanghai -- about sixty five years ago! My Grandmother took me there and I never forgot it. Years later, my boss, from Shanghai, began taking me there for weekly lunches. So to say the least, we have a history. The place is unpretentious, but warm and...

I have been there for lunch twice and every time the food was exceptional. You have a distinct advantage if you like spicy food. It's spicy alright, but not to the point where all you can feel is the spice. In short this place is absolutely worth a visit!

During my brief visit to Boston, I feel this restaurant is the best among the ones I have tried in Boston Chinatown. First, it is very clean - they use white table-cloth and white cloth napkins. Second, it is professional - they hire two chefs from China. One chef is from Tianjin and specializes in Northern Chinese Cuisine (Beijing Cuisine...

First I'd like to admit that the food of the restaurant is OK, just some are too spicy for me. The several problems include

The staff was not very attentive and service was terrible. The food was actually good but the waiter never came back to the table after our food was served or fill our water glasses. We were very disappointed!

So I went to visit a friend of mine in Boston, and we wanted to experience Chinatown. We parked the car and waled around and looked at different places, we finally decided to go in this restaurant. It was a Saturday night, about 9 pm and the restaurant was maybe 1/2 full, I did see a few people come in...

When we got there, there was only one couple leaving. They pointed the table we had to sit, have us the menus and left. We have baby n we had to ask them for the baby chair instead of them offering us. When we were ready we had to wave and call them because they didn't even come to offer...
